DE Robert Quinn

(Have you emerged from the last two games thinking you were more impactful recently?) – “I mean, I guess. Making a few more plays will get you excited; but again, at the same time, I know I sound so nonchalant but I’m just doing my job. It’s pretty simple. Of course, coming out of the game as a d-linemen with a sack or TFL (tackle for loss) or whatever it may be, or a few of them, that’s a great day; but as long as you can keep building on that one week at a time, and as we gel together as a d-line and as a team, as we push forward these last few weeks, I think there’s a lot more possibilities out there. We’ll see what happens.”

(Do you believe that success begins with the defensive line this Sunday against New England?) – “I think it’s going to take our whole team. I wish I could just say our whole d-line but … Of course (Tom) Brady gets the credit but their defense is pretty solid too. They make plays when they need to and give Brady opportunities. It’s not just going to be the d-line. It’s going to be the whole team. Regardless if you’re a starter or a backup, everyone has an important role. Don’t try to overlook your role or make it too big or too small because each role is important to help this team win. It kind of starts with everybody. It starts with the man in the mirror and then you can trust your brother to the side of you.”

(How important has CB Xavien Howard been for you guys on the d-line?) – “Well, you’ve seen he’s been playing great all year. But again, that’s not our first injury this year. We just shrug it off and keep the next-man-up (mentality). Now granted, we’re going to miss him out there. I’m not trying to just shun that off; but at the same time, it creates an opportunity for someone else. Hopefully they take advantage. No disrespect to ‘X,’ but hopefully we don’t even realize he’s not out there because the next man stepped up so well. We’ve been facing injuries all year so this is just another.”

(Is the way the first game against New England unfolded providing you any extra motivation for this one?) – “No. We just need a win. You win by one point or you get beat by 50, whatever the case may be, you’re just trying to win a game. The first game against New England wasn’t pretty but that’s in the past. They’ve got to come down here on Sunday and see us, so we’ll see what happens.”
